Just looking for an alternative to Java for doing web apps, and thought leveraging existing Java knowledge might be better than going for something brand new like Ruby or PHP (though I do know some PHP already).

If you aleady understand Java, you will have no problems implementing a Groovy app and as such wouldn't be much effort to learn.
I guess it depends on your motives. I would agree with what others have said with respect to more popular technologies.
